CLEVELAND - The FOX 8 I TEAM has obtained video showing, on some weekend nights, drag racing or “street racing” goes on for hours at a time.

Certainly, there’s been racing in the streets forever, but folks on the border of Tremont and the Flats say they’ve never seen it quite like this. In fact, they’re seeing growing crowds coming to watch, drink and hang out.

Charlie Honsinger with Potters Industries on West 3rd sees it right in front of his building. He said, "More organized as the year goes on. More spectators. More of a drag strip."

Last year, street racing in Cleveland turned deadly. Police said two drivers sped wildly down West 25th. A man in a wheelchair got hit and killed.
